Why Save the Worldport

The shot below was taken this morning. I was able to capture the fleeting moments of intense color from the sunrise as it rose and back-lit the saucer shape building in the rear; the original Pan Am Worldport. Having been useful for decades it is now being faced with demolition taking its many secrets with it.

What is the Worldport and why should it be saved you may ask.
Well, the Worldport building is currently owned and used by Delta at JFK Airport as its Terminal 3.
Originally owned by Pan Am, infamous airline and trademark which went bankrupt many years ago.
It was built in the heyday of our early passion in space travel.
You can see a lot of the story on Facebook at this link. There is a movement to save this ( which I am not involved).
Check it out from a curiosity POV. Interesting stuff on this FB page. Although quite busy with Delta flights, this terminal is old and needs lots of work and is being considered to be rumble unless it is saved.http://www.facebook.com/PanAmWorldport
Who really cares?
I can't answer that question but I can share my belief that there are many older structures scattered all around the country that speak of our past and show us from where we have come. Many of these have been converted to museums because they are part of our American legacy, and just plain intriguing.
Architecture is a wonderful thing. Look at all the structures around the world that are part of the so-called 7 Wonders of the world. 
We are all amazed and awed by their design, place in history and roots of our civilization.
So too is this building. It belongs to the 60's age along with the TWA International Arrivals building now owned by Jet Blue that can be seen not far away.
Yes, we no longer have a space program to hitch our imagination to anymore so why not allow these structures which are a part of our aviation and design history to remind us of our youth and our fascination back in the day of our forays into space. 
I say not always "out with the old and in with the new". Let's renew our relationship with the old and let it teach something about our past and where we might go in the future.
 An besides it is a really cool looking building!
